  • Artist Statement: Vestiges

    "The Vestiges series consists of a collection of garments and materials gathered from individuals close to me. I was fascinated by the presence they embodied, a unique identity. Through their usage, they conveyed a tangible presence. The imprint of 'them' on these materials served as proof. This proof is akin to what a photograph captures for us, when the physical becomes absent. These materials acted as a portal to the concepts that transcend the object, forming a kind of threshold, a starting point from which I delved into ideas that stretch beyond the objects themselves. I believe that these materials articulate the intangible. Through my creative processes, the images evolve into realms of potential, conveying a sense of motion, expressing what lies beyond the visual, within the folds of the invisible."
